Global Yodel recently had the pleasure to experience paradise at Two Seasons Island Resort & Spa, Coron, Palawan, in the Philippines.

Located in the Malaroyroy Peninsula on Bulalacao Island, Two Seasons is truly an island resort- being the only resort on this tropical island, it’s complete with beautifully landscaped grounds, swaying coconut palms, mangroves, and soft, white sandy beaches.

Upon your arrival, as your private boats docks, you can’t help but automatically feel at peace. Looking ahead, the smiling staff is waiting to greet you, their hands placed over their sincere hearts. -This and the ocean breeze takes your breath away.

There is a lot more to Two Seasons and it’s special location than just the obvious, jaw-dropping beauty. Every detail is taken into consideration with care, any special requests, anything staff and management can do to accommodate you will be done with their sincerest pleasure. Stay at the exclusive Sandbar Bungalow if you get the chance. It’s complete with rain shower, private beach cove, and outdoor heated jacuzzi- perfect for chilling in and watching the stars at night.

Once you’ve had your fill of snorkeling and swimming at the resort, and after you’ve taken a kayak out to watch the dolphins play as the sun goes down, be sure to book a unique recreational package so you can explore what many call “The Last Frontier” of the Philippines. Check out Twin Lagoon, Kayangan, Barracuda Lakes, and snorkel at Skeleton Wreck. You’ll work up a healthy appetite and will be happy to eat your delicious lunches waiting for you at Beach Cove.

The Two Seasons experience is one you’ll never forget. Be warned! You won’t want to leave, and you may shed some tears when your speedboat arrives to fetch you and your belongings to take you back to Coron! Aah, THIS IS A special place and you know that you will have to come back again because you’ve made friends here, and this is an intimate experience that is hard to come by.

Two Seasons Coron Island Resort was completed in 2012 and now we’re in the finishing stage of Two Seasons Bayside Hotel in Coron Town.
